Sedlacek's performance has been outstanding since League play began. He scored 29 against Dartmouth, and he is averaging 23.5 points per game in the Ivies and 19.4 overall. At his present pace, the junior from Valley Forge, Pa. would set two new Harvard records for scoring in a season. Sedlacek rates with Penn's brilliant Jeff Neuman as a prime candidate for first team All-Ivy guard...
...Reds massed an estimated 1,500 men at Binhgia-the third time in recent weeks that they had fielded a regiment-size unit (they did the same at Soctrang 90 miles south of Saigon a fortnight ago and at the battle of Anlao Valley in central Viet Nam last month). U.S. advisers suspect that the Viet Cong, swelled by 600 North Vietnamese regulars now being infiltrated monthly, may be trying to chew up government reserve battalions while testing their own ability to fight sustained actions. The Reds are also striking ever closer to major cities. Last week two Viet Cong...
These diaries, covering Lilienthal's years as a director off the Tennessee Valley Authority, then as Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, are a day-by-day tale of pushing and shoving. Lilienthal was only 34, with a reputation as a labor-law expert and a job on Wisconsin's Public Service Commission, when Franklin Roosevelt tapped him in 1933 for the TVA.

...popular theme by far was the Family. Jerry Lewis bundled his wife and six sons into bright red sweaters; the Robert Kennedys dressed their eight in nightgowns and photographed the assembly in the barn. Debbie Reynolds and group were backed by Santa, Jimmy Stewart and children by a Sun Valley snow scene. Walt Disney didn't stop at one generation, issued an eight-page, red-suede and gold-tasseled folio bearing 17 pictures of "Grandma and Grandpa Lilly and Walt" (aged, respectively, four and eight when photographed), plus children and grandchildren...
...French merchantmen and men-of-war. Though he commanded a corvette in Count de Grasse's fleet at the surrender of Yorktown in 1781, Jean Audubon was never, for all his son's boasting, of flag rank or a staff officer in the so-called "Battle of Valley Forge." He was also, despite land speculations in the Caribbean and Pennsylvania, ever at sea financially. When a native insurrection threatened his Haitian holdings in 1790, he brought young John and another lovechild (by a quadroon) back to his complaisant in-port wife in Nantes. She happily adopted both...
